@itsfoss You probably don't care about all packages that have been installed as dependencies or come in a standard system anyways. Here's a way to list the packages that you have consciously installed (and are not automatically installed, or of priorities: required, important, or standard):
apt list '~i !~M !(~pimportant|~pstandard|~prequired)'
Every time I update #debian releases I chuckle at how seemingly half the download size is updated texlive packages.
@venthur I found this: https://github.com/vim/vim/pull/17848
Sounds like it's just that they no longer want to maintain that plugin and no-one else has stepped up to take it over (yet).
Just noticed that the #netrw plugin repository got archived: https://github.com/saccarosium/netrw.vim
Was it merged into vim or what is happening?
Due to AI, this box now costs 500% more
@venthur I don't think it's possible to use passkeys in iCloud Keychain on Linux, but you can use a third-party credential manager with passkey support. Bitwarden, Proton Pass, and 1Password are my recommendations for most people. If you want more control over how your passkeys are synced and stored, some KeePass clients support passkeys (including KeePassXC and Strongbox).
@aymm @rmondello @chrisipedia Syncing passkeys is another open issue. I haven't yet found a way to sync passkeys from, let's say an IPhone to a Linux Laptop.
"If you're not using the stable kernel, your system is insecure. [...]
I'll call out Debian: Debian tracks our kernels very well. Debian runs the world. Over 70% of all servers in the world run Debian. Everything else is a rounding error [...]
👉 Debian: really, really good. I work with the Debian developers all the time. I can't recommend them enough. Their systems are good.
👉 RedHat, SUSE: they have their own weird systems -- talk to them, you're paying them."
@ericwastl Thanks for this change! Obsessing over the final puzzles during the holidays was not a very family friendly thing to do in the first place :D
@agj @b0rk But this is soft wrapping (i.e. no line breaks are inserted). I was talking about #helix lack of hard wrapping.
See: https://helix-editor.com/news/release-23-03-highlights/ for an explanation of soft wrapping.
The pdb module now supports remote attaching to a running #Python process using a new -p PID #cli; this one is so niiiice 🤩 option https://docs.python.org/3.14/whatsnew/3.14.html#pdb
I read @b0rk article about her migration from #neovim to #helix. I agree with all the pros she mentions: helix is a very promising editor, yet some basics are not covered. Editing markdown files is unbearable. vim's `gq` command is really missing here and `:reflow` is definitely not sufficient.
https://jvns.ca/blog/2025/10/10/notes-on-switching-to-helix-from-vim/
Helix also does not hard-wrap lines! I.e. when you're writing a line of text beyond the textwidth, helix will not break the line like neovim would.
Ah yes that’s what was missing from open plan offices: more people talking all the time
I've created a bug report for #neovim, and at least one of neovim's developers seems to agree that it needs to be improved.
I love #neovim 's default color theme. It's very subtle yet still looks good on most files. However, when using it on #markdown files, there's almost no highlighting at all. Headlines and bold text are bold, and that's about it. No accent color, just a sad monochrome wall of text. For someone who works a lot on markdown files, this is really a downer.
@diegovsky Section 2 ("Source Code") of the DFSG which is part of the Social Contract.
@diegovsky the short answer is #Debian 's social contract: https://www.debian.org/social_contract
The longer one is that the plugins are not part of helix' source tree, the source just points to other git repositories. So in order to have them in Debian, those plugins would have to be packaged separately which is a lot of work given the number of the plugins.
@diegovsky that is correct. The various tree sitter sources are not part of helix source only pointers to git repositories. I understand the packagers reasoning as well, it is just not what the user expects.
